Breast cancer classification in digital pathology using Python and Deep Learning

Posted on October 23, 2018November 7, 2020

Breast cancer is one of the leading cancer-related death causes worldwide, specially for women. In this talk, we will talk about how Deep Learning & Python could help pathologists to classify breast cancer microscopic images. The speaker will share his approach that won the “ICIAR 2018 Grand Challenge on Breast Cancer Histology images”, which was implemented in Python.
